Thanks for your notes and the link! Your way is certainly easier as it lets you circumvent the command line for the most part - with the exception of restoring /etc/crypttab, perhaps? On the other hand, doing it my way gets you acquainted with the basic commands for crypted partitions, LVM, initramfs, and last but not least one reboot less! :)
As this problem seems to lie in the debian-installer, I'd settle for a big fat warning that crypted volumes will be reinitialized with complete data loss. But I'd really wish to see this problem solved (existing crypted partition detected & activated during installation) at least for the next LTS version, as some people will have used the feature with 10.04 LTS for the first time. These are exactly the kind of users who frown heavily on data loss without warning... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285890 Title: Does not show encrypted partition -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
